-Vintage Canuck- Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Skipping Breakfast Tied To Heart Attack, Coronary Heart Disease Risk: Here's a good reason to eat breakfast every morning: It could keep your heart risks low, according to a new study. Research published in the journal Circulation shows an association between regularly skipping breakfast and having a higher risk of experiencing a heart attack or having fatal heart disease. That's because "skipping breakfast may lead to one or more risk factors, including obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes, which may in turn lead to a heart attack over time," study researcher Leah E. Cahill, Ph.D., a postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health, said in a statement. For the study, researchers examined food frequency questionnaires taken over a 16-year period by 26,903 men between ages 45 and 82. Over that time period, 1,572 men experienced a cardiac event for the first time. Researchers found an association between skipping breakfast and having a 27 percent higher risk of dying from coronary heart disease or experiencing a heart attack. This held true after taking into account other heart risk factors including sedentary activity, exercise, sleep, alcohol intake, smoking status, diet, body mass index and medical history. There was also a link between timing of eating and heart disease. Specifically, they found that those who ate right before bedtime had 55 percent higher risks of coronary heart disease. Skipping breakfast isn't uncommon; a recent survey from the NPD Group showed that approximately 10 percent of Americans don't eat breakfast, with men being more likely to skip breakfast than women.

TOMapleLaughs Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Agree that breakfast is of course important, but I questioned the 'food intake before bed leads to greater heart disease' point. As usual, there's another 'new study' saying something slightly different. Eating at night doesn’t have to make you fat. In fact, new research suggests potential benefits, including bigger muscles and a cranked-up metabolism: 1. More Muscle In research published last year in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, scientists in the Netherlands discovered that consuming casein (the dominating protein in milk) after an evening workout but 30 minutes before sleep increased protein synthesis in men. 2. Faster Metabolism A study from Florida State University found that when fit men eat a modest (150-calorie) nighttime snack consisting of protein or carbohydrates, they have a higher resting metabolic rate in the morning than when they consume nothing at all before bed. 3. Less Hunger Having a snack before bed may leave you less hungry in the morning and improve satiety between meals the next day, according to research from Florida State University. The type of food didn’t matter, but emphasizing protein is smart because it helps you build muscle. 4. Lower Weight Having Seinfeld’s favorite food—cereal—may be an ideal way to end the day. In a Wayne State University study, people who ate cereal before bed lost roughly 2 pounds in 4 weeks, while people who didn’t have the cereal lost about a half pound.

Down by the River Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Hate breakfast. The only thing worth eating takes too long too cook. Banana and a granola bar is about all I ever do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c00kies Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Sleep>>>Breakfast. I almost throw up when I eat breakfast, especially if I don't wake up naturally (like a weekend). Also eating late isn't good for acid reflux disease. I used to eat cereal before bed, but dairy isn't that great late at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go Faulk Yourself Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I only eat one meal a day, and it's usually lunch. Some nights I do have dinner though. I usually have a big lunch anyways. Probably not healthy, but everything kills you or makes a higher risk of yada-yada in this world, and my metabolism is beast anyways, I haven't lost or gained a pound in about 2 years.

McBackup Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Thats the thing. Nostalgia goggles. People are more likely to look back upon things fondly and recall the good memories over the bad. Like when people say "Music/Movies/Whatever these days is awful". Its not inherently any worse than it was a long time ago, its just that the good stuff gets lauded and the bad stuff forgotten. You're exposed to the full brunt of anything new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFBR392 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I'm amazed at the amount of people who don't eat breakfast. I've always had a tough time consuming enough calories throughout the day, but man.. If I don't eat a decent meal (300-500 calories) within an hour of waking up I'll nearly pass out from hunger. You guys need to all see doctors. You're broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
